Pelican Without His Briefs

Getting towards the bottom of the barrel of pictures that I took down in Florida.  This is a relatively colorful Pelican sitting on the rocks along the jetty in Venice, Florida.

The shot is cropped for my full HD monitor size (i.e., 1920x1080 pixels).    In order to get this size, however, I had to add approximately 100 pixels along the right vertical.  I wouldn't have thought that the water would be so difficult to clone, but it took several attempts.

The next shot is a closeup of the bird sized for 5x7 inch.

I like this better for the detail and the brighter color.
